Chapter 95
Surprised that Zayne admitted to it, Bob eyed him from top to toe. “Kid, you’ve got guts to takeresponsibility. So, I won’t make it difficult for you. Apologize on your knees to Mr. Queen, and I’ll letwhat happened today slide.” Obviously, there was no way Zayne was going to do that. “I’m definitelynot getting on my knees. He was the one who started it first.” Bob’s expression darkened at Zayne’srefusal. “No one has ever defied me before!”
Just as he spoke, Bob grabbed Zayne by the collar and lifted him off the ground. In spite of that, hiscolleagues were deterred from helping him, as they cowered at the sight of the fearsome-lookingfighters behind Josh. “Zayne!” Maria yelled as she dashed forward. “Let go of him! My dad is FranklinSaunders. We are employees of Sentiment Chemical Limited owned by the Sullivan family.” Eventhough she desperately tried to pry Bob’s hand open, her efforts were futile despite using all herstrength.
At that moment, Zayne’s face turned swollen red as he began to suffocate. His eyes were opened widewhile his mouth was agape. Soon, the fear of death descended upon him. When Maria saw Zaynegasping for air, she was overwhelmed by anxiety. She continued screaming, “This is Mr. Lewis’ turf andhe knows Mr. Lewis! Mr. Lewis would definitely not forgive you if he found out.” Bob’s expressionslightly changed when he heard Maria’s words.
Furrowing his eyebrows, he released his grip upon Zayne. Cough! Cough! Zayne began to coughforcefully as he took in deep breaths of air. “Zayne, are you all right?” Maria asked with concern. Wheneveryone else saw that Bob let Zayne go at the mention of Tommy, they assumed he was afraid of him.Hence they hollered, “Mr. Carlson knows Mr. Lewis very well. If you dare lay a finger on him, Mr. Lewiswill not forgive you.”
“Let me tell you, Tommy has to obey every single word of Mr. Carlson’s.” “Just yesterday, all Mr.Carlson did was make a call. After that, Tommy quickly recovered our debts for us. Therefore, offendMr. Carlson at your own peril!” Thinking that Bob was afraid of Tommy, Zayne’s subordinates began toboast about how influential he was. Meanwhile, Jared couldn’t help but snigger to himself. He wascognizant that by blowing Zayne’s trumpet for him, all they were doing was pushing him closer to hisdoom.
When Zayne heard the guys’ baseless boasts about him, he was utterly terrified. In fact, he simply feltthe urge to give them all an earful. Upon hearing their claims, Bob’s face turned grim while his eyesburned with murderous intent. Although Charlie had instructed him not to kill anyone, Bob wasoutraged at how Zayne had gone around making false proclamations about his relationship withTommy.
When they saw Bob’s increasingly gloomy face, Zayne’s subordinates assumed that he was afraid.Hence, they began to feel smug about themselves. “Are you afraid right now? You should leave whileyou still can. Or else, once we give Mr. Lewis a call, it will be too late for you,” Maria gloated at Bob.novelbin
“Shut up! Just shut the f*ck up!” Zayne roared at Maria. Only he knew that he didn’t know Tommy at all.In fact, he had never even seen Tommy before. Maria was stunned after being shouted at by Zayne.Even though she didn’t understand why, she didn’t dare utter another word.
